TTS has recognized the leading role of Spain in donation and transplantation, with the Spanish
Model having become a reference worldwide. TTS and Organización Nacional de Trasplantes
(ONT) were awarded the Prince of Asturias Award (considered as the Spanish equivalent of the
Nobel Prize) in 2010 in the field of International Cooperation in recognition of their joint efforts in
promoting ethical practices in transplantation.

Together with our partners in The Sociedad Madrileña de Trasplante (SMT) and The Sociedad
Española de Trasplante (SET), we have brought together a high-profile scientific program
committee with the aim of developing a broad and exciting agenda that will cover a diverse array of
topics, ranging from cutting-edge science to the latest controversies in ethics and public policy.
Issues relevant to developing transplant programs, organ donation and procurement will be a
highlight for many participants.

The destination and host city of the congress, Madrid, is a cosmopolitan metropolis that combines
modern infrastructure with extensive cultural and artistic heritage. Madrid boasts the status of a
financial, administrative and corporate center, while at the same time remaining a tolerant,
passionate and lively city. Its individual artistic tradition effortlessly embraces multiple external
influences, both past and present, thus highlighting the city’s continuing openness to new ideas.
Located in the center of Spain, Madrid has excellent air and land connections with major
destinations within, and outside, the peninsula.

We look forward to having your company on board for this unique experience and to help us put
forward the best TTS International Congress yet.
